Rules question re: dutch territories

When you’re close to taking Sydney as a final VC, u’ll find yourself producing over 90 IPC’s hehe… The trick with the US is to destroy Japan’s Navy piece by piece. This allows Hawaii and Sydney to be safe from a Japanese invasion wich denies them victory. U’ll find that the caroline islands are also very important. This gives a 1-turn passage into mainland China where you can almost land anywhere and create a gap in that japanese front (or, even better, if the japanese player built an IC, to take it away :)), and please land before India is captured.

No.  Scrambling occurs during the Conduct Combat phase, so all combat movements will have been completed.  Scrambling only occurs in sea zones in which attacking units end their combat movement.

@WILD:

I do have one question concerning US not yet at war. Say Japan is still only at war w/China in the 2nd round. The UK/US have moved ships to say sz 43 (Borneo). Japan attacks the UK (unprovoked) in sz 43 immediately bringing the UK/Anzac into the war. This act is also considered a Dec of War w/US as well.

No, it isn’t.

@WILD:

Can Japan still ignore the US ships there, or does this attack also mean you must attack the US ships because your intent will bring the US into the war (like now having to declare a convoy attack on your turn). It will also make a difference if you can bombard Borneo as well if there are no UK surface war ships, only US surface war ships in the sz.

Japan may declare war on UK/ANZAC only and ignore any US ships in the sea zone.  Of course, this means that Japan will be unable to atack any US forces or territories that turn.  The US will then be eligible to declare war on Japan on its next turn.

what? neeh
fool me another one

@Gharen:

I think if your ship ends up in an enemy convoy zone and survives to their collect income phase it automatically deducts from their total, so that being said I believe you can attack to an enemy sea zone assuming you kill something or noncombat to one.  The convoy raiding takes place on the opponents collect income phase so its entirely different from your combat.

right!

@The:

cool, thanks. And I knew that the U.S. technically wouldn’t earn any money with the Western U.S. taken, but I was really referring to the Global game where the Western U.S. wouldn’t be the capital.

Well there will be a new set of rules for the global game. It’s hard to say the impact that’ll have, though it’s good to get the question out early so them who make the rules will address it correctly.

Yes you can.

only when india has fallen it turns anzac
else it’s back to UK
or create a new free independant state :D

@Butcher:

In the rulebook, it says that China is allowed to attack Japanese forces in and occupy Burma and Kwangtung. Does this also mean that they can non-combat move infantry and/or the Flying Tigers into either territory? Thanks.

Yes.

@Frontovik:

but not sure you can place new units in those territories

You can mobilize new Chinese units in any territory that China controls.  China can only control Burma or Kwangtung if it captures them from Japan while India is held by Japan.
